Blade Runner

This movie has moments of pure brilliance, but the majority is rather mundane. The writing is terrible, but the mis-en-scene and art direction is amazing. Harrison Ford is meh in playing another burnt out loner. Rutger Hauer is amazing as the sometimes maniacal, sometimes heroic Replicant Roy Batty. The dialogues literally feel as though they were written by high schoolers who are trying to move the exposition forward in the most obvious way possible. Likewise, the scenes in J. F. Seabastin’s apartment are awkwardly executed, as are parts of the final fight scenes, but the final monologue from Hauer is simply brilliant.
